Welcome to the official GitHub repository for our EKS Substack publication — a practical and opinionated guide to AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). Whether you're deploying your first cluster or managing production-grade workloads, this repository serves as your companion for real-world EKS excellence.
This repository complements our Substack publication by providing:
- 🧪 Hands-on EKS Labs – Guided exercises to build, deploy, and scale workloads on AWS EKS.
- 📜 Kubernetes & EKS Manifests – Reusable YAML files for clusters, workloads, networking, observability, security, and more.
- 🧠 Architecture Notes & Patterns – Real-world examples and best practices to run EKS in production.
We’re building the go-to resource for EKS practitioners who want to go beyond tutorials and into the realities of production. Each piece of content is designed to be:
- ✅ Actionable – Not just theory, but proven techniques.
- 🔍 Opinionated – Clear guidance based on real experience.
- 🧰 Practical – Tools, templates, and manifests you can use today.
- 💬 Community-driven – Inspired by conversations with engineers and teams in the field.
